[Cactus Jack]

A lawsuit has been filed against Prince Andrew over sex abuse allegations by Virginia Giuffre who previously accused convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

he's a sleazy fuck that is for sure, but how was he to know that she was coerced into having sex with men, she has a mountain to climb to prove that, that is if she even proves it actually happened (I think we all know it did, but he will continue to deny it)

is having sex with a 17 year old actually illegal where it took place and at the time it took place, it's no for the UK, but what about the other locations?, sleazy and illegal aren't the same thing, even if sometimes they probably should be

i get that she feels angry, but i doubt that this will give her any closure, and will probably make it worse for her to come to terms with - the only people who will benefit from this are the legal teams

Nothing will happen with this. Maybe a shitty news item will become breaking news to diverge from this but that's all.

[Raggamuffin]

She wasn't coerced at all - she never claimed that anyway. She's just an attention-seeker who made some bad choices.

The shitty news item that's trying to crowd this out is the one about David Cameron making millions from lobbying a now collapsed company.

Why is a story about Cameron trying to 'crowd out' the story about Prince Andrew?

More than one news item breaks on any given day, and people will read the ones that appeal to them - any person is perfectly capable of reading both stories if they wish to. It isn't an either or situation.

At least you didn't call it a 'dead cat' though.

He will end up on a vast country estate somewhere, outcast and exiled in his own country. He won't lack anything apart from any sort of interesting future.

Apt.

That sounds OK to me. He'll still have Fergie and his daughters, plus any friends who have stuck by him.

A bit like The Kaiser.
